Insights
Adage reports an 8.00% stake in X3 Acquisition (1.8M shares).
The Schedule 13G lists 1,800,000 shares held with shared voting and dispositive power by Adage-affiliated entities and individuals. The percentage is calculated using 22,500,000 shares outstanding as of March 23, 2026, per the filing.
Ownership at this scale can be a notable holder position but the filing is passive in form; subsequent filings could show changes in voting or disposition authority.
Disclosure aligns with Schedule 13G passive reporting conventions.
The statement identifies the reporting persons, their relationships, and the shared powers over the reported shares. It cites the company's Form 10-K for the outstanding share count used in the percentage calculation.
Filing signatures and a Joint Filing Agreement are included; any future change in intent or control would require an updated filing under the applicable rules.

"This statement is filed by: (i) Adage Capital Management, L.P."
A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
shared voting powerregulatory
"Shared Voting Power 1,800,000.00"
Shared voting power occurs when two or more parties jointly have the right to vote or decide how a block of company shares is cast, like co-owners who must agree before moving a piece of furniture. Investors care because who controls voting rights affects board elections, major corporate decisions and takeover outcomes, and shared control can alter regulatory disclosures and the practical influence any holder has over a company’s direction and value.
beneficially ownedfinancial
"Amount beneficially owned: The information required by Item 4(a) is set forth"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
